BOURBON NEAT with GINGER-LIME SORBET


Ginger-Lime Sorbet

Ingredients

1 tbsp fresh grated Ginger

Zest of 1 Lime

Juice of 1 Lime

2 cups Water

3/4 cup Sugar

2 tbsp Domaine de Canton Ginger Liqueur*

Directions

Peel ginger with a vegetable peeler and grate over saucepan.  Add lime zest, lime juice, water, and sugar.

Stirring frequently, bring to a boil over medium-high heat.  Allow to boil for 10 minutes.

Chill until cool.

Add ginger liqueur.

Freeze in ice cream maker according to directions.

*Not only does the liqueur add a delicious but subtle flavor, a little alcohol in the sorbet ensures a slushier texture that won't freeze into an unmanageable block of ice.
